About the Artwork

Contemporary Nude Girl`s Torso Sculpture, A Paper Statue nFor Indoors that wonderfully collides forms of classical antiquity with pop and avant garde; perhaps a bit surreal, too. It is a paper sculpture saturated with plaster and then painted, a traditional Southern Italian technique that the artist learned in Lecce. After her training, Palamidessi subsequently reinvigorated the art form by folding and moulding paper and wire into human shapes to indicate the stories and past-future lives we carry within us. The inside looks like the sky; the outside hard as bone.

Artist Comment

I adore this sculpture and have it in my house right now, inside the fireplace on top of a retired coal grate. It looks amazing and very interesting. (see picture) There`s many layers--the ancient, the personal, and, of course, the paradox of how we humans consider ourselves as independent wholes even though we are actually parts of an interdependent universe.

  • The ArtParkS Guarentee

    All the sculptures on the website are described by the Artists themselves stating the materiel they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors they have a guarentee of 10 years subject to the effects of weathering which will alter their colour and finish over the years unless you give them  regular cleaning and maintenance. For instance Bronze and to a lesser extent bronze resin/cold cast bronze will aquire a green patina, usually rather sought after and all could attract moss  lichen and a greeny pollen especially under trees which should be removed regularly with warm water and washing up liquid.
    Iron and steel will oxidise(rust ) and this falls outside our guarentee.
    Organic materiel like wood, bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited and you should discuss any guarentee direct with the Artist as this too falls outside our Guarentee.
